Why I couldn't write my paper

my students' late paper excuses for Spring/Summer 2005

I was observing a traditional holiday in my religion called the Don't Do Homework Day.

I became so excited about writing the paper that my narcolepsy kicked in.

The racist cops stopped me in Farmington Hills due to racial profiling. Unfortunately, I was dealing cocaine at the time.

The Smart bus never came.

I left my paper in southern Sudan, where it was eaten by my cousins (in an essay about the World Bank and SAP).

My pencil broke every time I tried to write my essay.

I was participating in local politics which you will note is another goal for this course as stated in the syllabus.

I cleaned out my backpack and am now hospitalized with 4 incurable diseases.

I am a woman and the demands on me in our society make it impossible for me to be a friend, parent, and scholar. I need an extension for 5-7 days.
